Vivo's next high-end smartphone could stand a more than serious chance against the likes of Xperia Z1 and Lumia 1020 in the mobile imaging department, while convincingly beating them in the looks and features. The phone could be slated for the Chinese New Year 2014 shopping season.

To begin with, there's talk of the unnamed phone featuring a top-spec primary camera, complete with a 20.7-megapixel 1.1.7" sensor, mated with an f/2.0 lens, and Nikon Expeed imaging processor, the same chip found in high-end DSLRs from the company. We suspect the sensor is supplied by Nikon too, since Sony's 20.7 MP Exmor RS isn't as big. The camera, and the entire top portion of the device can swivel around a joint, as shown in the picture, so your self-shots are just as detailed, not to mention 1080p video chats.
